I have never written a comic even tho I tried to get my best friend to draw the comic if I did everything else, but no go. I have written standup and generally try to come up with new material for when I get back on stage. Claus is right, write EVERYTHING down. I have a note in my phone with one line summaries of jokes I've made.
Writing jokes for any media is hard and takes lots of practice. As I say to Cinn daily, "Not every joke is a winner." You will make a lot of bad jokes, but you will be able to shift through the bad ones to find the good ones. The strong jokes that get laughs you will be able to build on and turn into funny jokes (or one liners for you comics).
Figure out what really makes that joke funny, is it the environment? The character? The deliver? Background joke? What is the root of the joke, what really makes it funny. You could deliver the funniest joke in the world, but if the environment isn't there to support it, then it will die a horrible, slow, silent death.
From what I've read about webcomics, it takes awhile for your art and humor to get where you want it to be. It's like fucking; no one was a pimp daddy mac master fucker their first time. They worked at it through failure, giggles, sore knees, chafed skin, and all the awkward things that happen in bed because the end result was awesome. Just keep working at it, you will eventually be good enough that women don't have to fake it for you in order to not hurt your feelings.
